Private mixologist & SMS deposits focus
For private mixologists, each evening combines creativity, ingredients and special cocktails. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the event is confirmed: the client pays from their phone, the date is secured and you protect your preparation time. For high‑end experiences (tasting menus, pairing dinners, themed evenings), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. You receive the full amount immediately in PayLinker, while the client spreads the cost, making it easier for them to commit. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone is enough to create links for deposits, balances and options (rare spirits, extra hours, special glassware). Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event, which makes accounting and communication easier. Your own terms for deposits, cancellations and changes stay in place: PayLinker manages notifications, payment collection and history so you know exactly what has been paid.
